.,r,r GEN ENATORSHIP-THE FIGHT lsE,
,rWEEN THE BUTTE STATESMEN.

r,sss next winter, into the sisterhood of
States, the date Of the passage Of the act
will be proud day for Montanians. That
Montana will get into the Union in IS
there are strong reasons to build hopes
mon. That the admission is almost unan-
;mously desired by our people there is lit
lie room for doubt. Work for admission
will be enthusiast lily and, it is believed,
efec,uallv made. Immediately following
admission the political fight over the Sen.
atorships will be lively, owing to the fact
that there are SO many Democratic states
men in Montana SO admirably fitted by ed.
ucaton and aspiration for Senatorial tim
ber. Conceding that Montana is Demo
cratic for Senatorial purposes, it will be in
terestiny to glance over the field OF candi-
dates Of distinguished and unwashed Dem
ocrats aspiring to the position Of United
States Senator. In dividing the new State
into Two political parts for the purpose of
balancing personal and political power,
Helena will claim the pregrogative of nam
ing one and Butte the other. Away back as
far as the memory Of the Oldest pioneer
runneth Helena has put in first claim for
every political position To be filled and in
the matter Of Senators Helena will prove
recreant to her voracious and ravenous rec.
ord if it tails to put in the first claim. The
heavy and light weight Democrats at Hell
0rI tart
numerous to enumerate in I, newspaper ar
ticle, but few Of the most CONSPICUOUS as
pirants may be mentioned modestly. In
the number Of aspirants of the first grade
Hon. Sam Hauser, Hon. Sam Word. brev-
et.Colonel Broadwater, and the two Tooles
are reckoned as first bests. Dropping in
to the second grade Col. johnson, Hugh
McQuaid and Hon. Martin Maginnis loom
up as second bests, but the old gentleman
from kentucky skunking Hon. Mr.. Ma
ginns for the GovernorshiD of Montana
will have tendency to dampen if it does
not entirely handicap the Hon. Mr.. Ma
ginnis's torlorn chances. However, with
such all array of distinguished and extin-
guished Democrats the East Side is toler.
ably we'll supplied with heavy and light
Senatorial timber, and so we turn to the
West Side to briefly review the fight be.
tween the monarchs Of money for the sec
ond Senatorship.
West Side Democrats will be entitled to
the second choice, that is, if they are enti.
tied to any choice at all. They will prob
ably get it for the hr,niliating subscrvency
OF the West Siders to the East Side Dem
ocrats, for years, should surely be :equited.
Assuming that to be a fact, the most talked
OF and prominent candidates are entitled to
considerable consideration in advance of
the final struggle that will determine which,
IS the best man. We are speaking politi-
eally-not physically or sardonically. Two
candidates only are in the ring--lIon. Wm.
A. Clark and Hon. Marcus DAILY. Both
oelong at Butte. Both arc unterrilied Dem.
ocrats. There is no discount on the Democ-
sacy OF either, except when one Or the other
turns loose to beat some insignificant Dem
ocfat who happens to be unfortunate and
1'lpecunlous enoug h to run for one of the
o14'er Bow county offices. Both NAV be
paraoned for eeviating from the straight
Democratic line, at times, on the ground
